Brian @ 8, you could say the same thing about all art, and this is undeniably a beautiful and thought-provoking piece of art.

However, as recent medical research shows that many illnesses (including depression, obesity, insomnia, autism and Sundown Syndrome in Alzheimer’s patients, and more) are associated with poorly operating biological clocks, maybe it is we who are being devoured by time? At least “corporate standard time” — as compared with “local natural time” — i.e., “time” that is naturally defined as “time of local sunrise, local noon and local sunset”!

As modern working conditions and modern time-keeping (such as time zones, and Daily Saving Time) have more and more gotten in the way of our biological clocks knowing what they need to know to healthily regulate our circadian rhythms, perhaps it is time for us to get our bio-clocks back in sync with the flows and ebbs of actual day and night? Can’t hurt, and might help a lot. Which is why GreenTyme’s recently patented Synclecron is freely available on the Web at GTyme.org. And also why its mobile edition will soon be freely available for the browsers of iPhones, gPhones, BlackBerries, etc., via gty.me.

OK, I’ll go away now….

Sorry, I didn’t mean the presentation in your video, but the presentation of the object itself: It’s kind of disappointing, when you’ve waited around for the change of hour, that you don’t SEE anything interesting happen (as you do with the Rathaus Glockenspiele in various German towns) at that moment: no dancing or anything.

It’s a kind of user-interface issue!

Dennis, nice catch. I’ve fixed it.
